Chapter 98 Making chips(1/5)
The next day.
The fourth day of April.
Xiangming Tower seemed to have been scrubbed inside and out, so clean that it even shone.
Many qi-training monks gathered in front of the Xiangming Tower. Compared with ordinary days, they were obviously dressed up specially. They were not flashy, but they were all beaming with joy.
These people are all regular customers of Xiangminglou, even if they were just friendly and nodding acquaintances in the past.
When we gather here today, everyone takes the initiative to chat with each other.
"Xiangminglou is not open today, why did you come here today?"
"Participating in the celebration of a senior foundation builder, how about you?"
"Ah, what a coincidence, me too!"
"I've long thought that Senior Meng's real face is hidden!"
"You know him well?"
"Yes, we are friends who have eaten melon at the same table and drank a pot of tea together!"
"..."
These people walked slowly inside while chatting.
Shopkeeper Lu led several waiters at the door to greet and guide.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Shopkeeper Lu looked up, paused for a moment, then quickly strode forward to greet him.
I saw three figures walking towards this side talking and laughing. It was like there was an invisible force field around them. As they moved, the crowd around them automatically created an obstacle-free passage.
Shopkeeper Lu came to the three of them and was about to greet them respectfully, but all he saw was a blur in front of his eyes. A figure had appeared in front of him. This person was naturally Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou, who was waiting in the building, was shocked when he saw the three people coming hand in hand, but he immediately came out of the building to greet them.
With only a slight exertion on his feet, his body looked like a fish swimming in the water.
In his own opinion, with just a slight slip, he arrived first and appeared in front of shopkeeper Lu.
In the eyes of other qi-training monks, except Shopkeeper Lu, he was slightly dazzled.
None of the other monks noticed anything strange. It felt like there was no one in front of Shopkeeper Lu just a moment ago.
In the blink of an eye, a calm and calm figure appeared.
And in the eyes of the three new foundation builders who came together, they could barely see an afterimage passing by.
Before they even reacted, a figure stood not far in front of them, smiling and greeting them.
The three of them felt awe in their hearts, and they all felt that this newly promoted fellow Taoist Meng was not simple.
Regardless of what they had previously thought, they have now quietly adjusted their strategies in their hearts.
Meng Zhou showed off his skills to prove that he, a newcomer, was not a parallel import.
However, his expression didn't show any signs of it, and he cupped his fists and raised his hands to the two male cultivators standing on the left and right.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Qu, thank you both for being able to honor me and participate in this small celebration of foundation building."
Luo Ping and Qu Jing, two newly promoted foundation builders, returned the favor and congratulated Meng Zhou on his success in foundation building.
After greeting the two planned guests, Meng Zhou looked at the beautiful figure standing between the two, faintly in the center of the three, smiling slightly at him.
There was a doubtful look in his eyes:
"I wonder what I call this fellow Taoist?"
In fact, when Meng Zhou, who was waiting in Xiangming Tower, saw these three people arriving together, he didn't pay much attention to the two planned visitors, Luo Ping and Qu Jing. He focused almost all of his attention on them.
On the woman walking between the two.
What attracted him was not her appearance and temperament that were far beyond ordinary female cultivators, but the fact that she was an old acquaintance, Xu Wanzhen.
When he saw her appearing on such an occasion and walking with two other new male foundation-building cultivators, Meng Zhou felt quite agitated.
From this point of view, she did not really follow the advice of Jing Hao, an inner disciple of Qingxuan Sect.
At that time, Jing Hao revealed to her that Qingxuan Sect would keep selling Foundation Establishment Pills until the price of ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills dropped below 12,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
And in the auction that he just watched a few days ago, the cheapest ordinary foundation-building pill also sold for a high price of 168 medium-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, it makes sense for her to do this, and even Jing Hao himself would not doubt her.
The sooner you build a foundation, the sooner you can enjoy a series of dividends brought by higher status, status and stronger strength. Compared with this, it is worth paying dozens more middle-grade spiritual stones.
But for Meng Zhou, who knew her background well, there was a kind of surprise that others didn't know.
Last year, on the recommendation of "Hu Cai", she came to Nuanyun Valley to seek medical consultation from her, and he thoroughly checked her internal condition.
At that time, she was still at the eighth level of qi training. She was troubled by various foreign qi in her body, and her cultivation was stagnant.
The last time we met, she was already at the ninth level of Qi training.
Not only did he get close to Jing Hao, an inner disciple of Qingxuan Sect, but he also got a lot of important information from him.
He then took the opportunity to backstab Meixianglou's "Mother Yun", a foundation-building monk who appeared to be in love with the old madam, but secretly had a dangerous identity.
Now, meeting her for the third time, she has actually transformed into a new Foundation Builder.
It has only been less than half a year since I took good care of her body and continued to make progress. Now, I am fully prepared.
She first completed the breakthrough from the eighth level to the ninth level of Qi training, and then completed the leap from the Qi training realm to the foundation building realm.
Such an exaggerated growth rate has almost caught up with him.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he had a new understanding of her reporting the backstabbing of "Mama Yun".
As Meixianglou's money maker, "Yun's mother" should know her situation very well, which can be confirmed by "Hu Cai" recommending her to come to Nuanyun Valley to see a doctor.
From the perspective of "Mama Yun", it is understandable that after the disease was cured, Xu Wanzhen made a breakthrough from the eighth level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training.
But if Xu Wanzhen breaks through from the ninth level of Qi training to the realm of foundation building in a short period of time, it will be completely incomprehensible!
Therefore, unless "Mother Yun" dies, Xu Wanzhen will not dare to break through at all!
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The person who knows her physical condition best, apart from herself, is "Pharmacist Zhou" who has carefully examined her.
Perhaps even more thorough than her own understanding!
"This little girl, isn't she also thinking about silencing 'Pharmacist Zhou'?"
Naturally, Xu Wanzhen didn't know that the completely unfamiliar newcomer Zhu Ji in front of her was conducting a careful "anatomy" of her in her heart that was almost touching her soul, opening up her beautiful skin and exploring it over and over again.
If she had known, she would probably never have such a beautiful, fairy-like smile again.
She took a step forward, bowed to Meng Zhou and said:
"I have a pure and graceful body. I heard from Taoist friends Luo and Qu that Fellow Taoist Meng had successfully built the foundation, so I came here uninvited.
Although it was only a sudden appearance, the physical skills that fellow Taoist revealed just now are really heartbreaking!"
Having said this, she stared at Meng Zhou with longing eyes, implying a hint of the instinctive admiration of female creatures for powerful males.
For a moment, Meng Zhou found that he was actually a little moved.
This frightened him so much that he quickly thought about pink skulls and snakes and scorpions to suppress the lingering thoughts that had just arisen in his heart.
"awesome!"
Meng Zhou secretly shouted in his heart and guided the three of them into the building.
An unusually silent confrontation took place under the noses of Luo and Qu, two newly promoted foundation builders. However, the two of them were completely unaware and entered the Xiangming Pavilion with Meng Zhou while chatting and laughing.
Xu Wanzhen, who had once again raised her evaluation of "Fellow Daoist Meng", would cast her beautiful eyes on Meng Zhou from time to time without any concealment.
Regarding this, Meng Zhou felt a little helpless.
Is this a privilege of a beautiful female nun?!
If the identities were reversed and a male cultivator stared at a beautiful female cultivator, everyone would think that this male cultivator lacks basic courtesy.
But if a beautiful female cultivator does this, everyone will only think that she is natural, straightforward, real and lovely.
Meng Zhou guided the three of them into a room that had been arranged by shopkeeper Lu in advance. There was a formation to isolate the inside and outside.
After entering, the noise outside was blocked out. Only shopkeeper Lu was responsible for the Qi-training monks who came to join in the fun, and Meng Zhou didn't need to worry about it.
For Meng Zhou, the only purpose of this Foundation Establishment celebration is to take the opportunity to get to know a few more Foundation Establishment colleagues.
In the room, shopkeeper Lu prepared a lot of tea and snacks.
With only a brief glance, Meng Zhou knew that this was "copied" from Hexinlou. The variety and style were the same as those he had tasted at Hexinlou a few days ago, and the weight was even larger.
Although this actually showed the shabby nature of Xiaoqing, Meng Zhou was not dissatisfied. Instead, he secretly praised that shopkeeper Lu had indeed taken the trouble.
Meng Zhou guided the three of them to sit down, looked at Xu Wanzhen, and asked: "Fairy Qingwan also completed the foundation building in Hexin Tower recently?"
Xu Wanzhen smiled softly and said, "Young Daoist Meng, you still don't know that I already have a fate with you, right?"
